Blacktop Freak’s new track “nomore” is a song by Nick Marinelli, an avant-garde, lo-fi artist out of Michigan.
The song is the culmination of a summer living in a self-induced, solitary state…and gazes back at a whole life spent living in the same place, seeing the same things, and realizing that it is all coming to an end, sooner than we’d like.
It’s almost as if we keep running out of time, no matter how hard we try to capture the moment, and cherish it forever. But time waits for no one.
Thomas Hewitt Jones is an award-winning composer of contemporary classical and more commercial music.
Thomas has written three ballets which toured the UK, and his choral and instrumental pieces are quite frequently performed around the globe. Commercial commissions have included work in America and scores for films in the UK, as well as music for the London 2012 Olympics…
Recently, Thomas Hewitt Jones released a new album entitled ‘Electric Cello’. The project is a poignant fusion of neoclassical music and a more emotional, winsome vibration. It’s a nice little sonic reset amidst a wasteland of mainstream popular music.
The notoriously elusive (radically cool) Whyte Horses have finally returned with a surprise single in the form of a cover of the innovative 70’s track “Ça Plane Pour Moi” (originally performed by Belgian pioneer, Plastic Bertrand).
Choosing to cover such a definitive track epitomizes the legend of the Whyte Horses, whose sound is as timeless and thoroughly contemporary, as it is progressive, and sickeningly infectious.
With a back-catalog of multi-faceted gems that gleam of a blinding, intoxicating light, Whyte Horses’ reputation is one of being able to piece together gloriously intricate pop strands in an infinitely experimental fashion.

Alex McArtor is a budding indie pop artist from the hot and sweaty metropolis of Dallas, Texas.
“Last Blur in the City” is a sublime release off her debut EP, Spoken Word. It’s a winsome slow dance into the heart of a lonesome land filled with broken, empty people.
Alex was inspired by the timeless classic, Lost in Translation. She had this to say about her latest project: “I wanted to write something that would fit in the soundtrack, but would also address some of the tensions that you feel in our largest urban environments.”
Keep up with Alex on Instagram, and be sure to listen to her new album on Soundcloud.
San Francisco based Marinero is a solo project dreamt up by Bay Area artist, Jess Sylvester.
Marinero’s music is simmering of lo-fi indie infused with some subtle hints of Latin roots music. In short, it’s a catatonic mixture of long hot sweaty days, and cool candlelit nights.
Marinero is an eclectic madman of many sounds and has taken part in groups that delve into a spectrum of genres ranging from punk to sampledelia.
Francisco Y Madero (the precursor to Marinero) was the start of the evolution of Marinero’s cholo-fi signature style of taking samples of Latin roots music and mixing in some of his very own cosmic pop flavors rooted in bossa nova and Tropicália.
Marinero’s new album is out now and is streaming everywhere. Check it out now on Spotify.
